The Best And The Rest 41

Diva literally means goddess. Someone to be worshipped, someone to be waited on hand and foot. The real secret to being a diva is to deserve it. If you radiate fabulousness, if you inspire adoration, if you command sniveling idolatry, and actually get it, then you’re a diva. If you prance around in the most expensive clothes and label yourself a diva, and people roll their eyes, sorry dearie, you’re a wannabe.

Rockhoncho – I’m not proud to be a guy diva, but once, I sent our driver and yaya to look for my favorite imported beer. They went through 13 convenience stores! I kept track of them through my cell phone, telling them to try one store after the other.

Ota – I had a diva moment when I refused to go onstage when the emcee mispronounced my name. Then I reprimanded him while going up, with everyone hearing it. This was just once ha!

Jose de Vengenge – Our camping class in U.P. had a 2-day camping in Batangas last semester & 1 rich female classmate brought her yaya & had an umbrella while we were mountain climbing.

MaxOr of Perot Systems – You’re a diva if you have a handful of gay impersonators “doing” you.

prettywhenpinched – In our office, may nagpapa-order ng damit via brochures. I would ask muna if someone from the office already ordered. If yes, then I don’t order anymore.

JV – I went to a boutique inside a mall. When I asked a saleslady how much a pair of shoes were, she said “Sir, 3 thousand nalang, kasi sale eh”. I replied, “Sige, babalik nalang ako pag hindi na sale”.

Loipogi – If you release a recording album even if you’re not a singer but still gets a gold record award after only 2 weeks.

Loipogi – I have this officemate na daughter of a construction magnate. Kapag time na ng merynda, she would tell our utility worker: “YAYA…I want coffee. With cream ha!”

Loipogi – Before she enters an empty elevator, she’d ask her bodyguards to spray it with Lysol or any anti-bacterial spray.

Jaepea – Kung ang mga damit mo puro divi, pero mukha ka paring diva!

No name – When I was in grade 3, I had this classmate who was a snob. One time during lunch, I heard her tell a classmate who was about to eat lunch, “Ay, sardinas? Bakit, poor kayo?”

ACER – During parties w/ videoke, my aunt who is known to sing well will always refuse requests to sing, saying she’s paos. But when the clamor gets loud enough, she steps up to the mic, sings, and hogs the videoke. Wala ng ibang makakasingit mag-videoke!

Rockhoncho -I know I’m a guy diva because when I’m in a bar or resto w/ friends and they have their bucket of beer, I have to have my own bucket filled with ice, w/ a single bottle of beer in it.

D’real Macoy – If you pronounce “family” as “pameelee”, and you still win the beauty pageant.

Ninya del Papa – The diva of all divas Naomi Campbell was arrested at Heathrow airport for having the balls to spit at a police officer.

No name – My boss, a university president, had a scheduled meeting w/ GMA in Cebu. When GMA arrived late, my boss, who by then already had a couple of glasses of wine to drink, scolded her & told her that she’s not supposed to make her wait, just because she’s the president of the country.

Ambi – Even in my dreams I’m a diva. One time I dreamt of this fat girl who lives in Cubao. She told me angrily, “Why don’t you ever go to my house?”. So I replied, “Ewww. Me? Go to Cubao?”

I can so relate with number 2. While on a bus with a bunch of guy friends (one is gay) going to Olongapo, a vendor selling puto approached, our diva gay guy asks “How much?” and the vendor said “20 lang po.” To which he replied “Ay, wala na bang mas mahal? Gusto ko yung tig-25. Sige wag na lang.”

When my partner and I did a biology experiment in high school (dissected a frog), he did all the dirty work and I just instructed him where to make incisions. He took the skin home and made a stuffed frog (part 1 of the experiment) and I had to take the bones home and make an skeletal model (part 2). I ended up buying a ready-made model from a nursing student/neighbor because I really didn’t want to touch the icky frog bones. Sorry, bio teacher. hehe.

My sister,who’s a doctor, whenever she goes to the mall,she would always bring her secretary and a yaya.Her secretary to bring her bag and the yaya to bring whatever’s she’s going to buy in the mall.all she’s holding is her car keys.as of present,she’s thinking of hiring a driver so she will not be bothered to drive and park her own car..

When i announced to my team that the company will give a Boracay trip as incentive, everybody cheered except for one and said, “Bora lang?” It turns out she’s in Bora 2x a year and stays in Station 1 only. One time, this same person paid a tambay to literally carry her to her car when the street got flooded because of the heavy rains! Lupet! hehe

there’s nothing jologs with being on top of Chico’s list. I actually find it a privilege. Because I enjoy listening to Chico, I enjoy reading Chico, and I enjoy seeing my name on his award-winning blog.

I don’t read PEP, and I don’t care if you do. So what business do you have with me saying I was first?

I suggest you write comments about the top ten and this blog, and not about people who are just trying to make a comment.
